1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the given content. 2. Core View of the Report - In March 2026, the polyethylene market was affected by multiple factors such as the Middle - East geopolitical conflict, sharp rise in crude oil prices, plant maintenance, and downstream demand recovery, leading to a significant price increase. In April, the polyethylene market may continue to rise due to supply reduction, cost support, and demand increase [5][6][41]. - In March 2026, the polypropylene market showed a roller - coaster - like sharp rise and fall, dominated by the Middle - East geopolitical conflict. In April, it is expected to show a narrow upward movement first and then return to a rational price, with an overall market trend of oscillation, rising first and then falling [5][6][41]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Macro - aspect 3.1.1 China - In February 2026, the year - on - year growth rate of broad money M2 was 9%, the same as the previous month. The manufacturing PMI was 49.0%, a 0.3 - percentage - point decrease from the previous month, indicating a decline in manufacturing prosperity [7]. - In February 2026, the year - on - year increase in the national consumer price was 1.3%, and the month - on - month increase was 1%. The year - on - year decrease in the national industrial producer price was 0.9%, with the decline narrowing by 0.5 percentage points compared to the previous month, and the month - on - month increase was 0.4% [8]. - From January to February 2026, the national real estate development investment was 96.12 billion yuan, a year - on - year decrease of 11.1%, with the decline narrowing by 6.1 percentage points compared to the whole of the previous year.

The US - Iran conflict caused a sharp increase in oil prices, which has not yet been reflected in the data [16]. - In February 2026, the US manufacturing PMI decreased slightly by 0.2 percentage points to 52.4%, and the unemployment rate rose by 0.1% to 4.4% [19]. - Currently, the decline in US inflation and high unemployment are favorable for interest rate cuts, but the sharp increase in oil prices due to the US - Iran conflict has led to an increase in inflation expectations, hindering the Fed's interest rate cuts. The Fed is inclined to keep interest rates unchanged, and the market expects an increased possibility of interest rate cuts this year [21]. - Geopolitical conflicts still significantly boost oil prices, providing obvious cost support for polyolefins [23]. 3.2 Fundamental - aspect 3.2.1 PE - In March 2026, polyethylene production increased by 298,000 tons to 2.9357 million tons, with a capacity utilization rate of 80.66%, a decrease of 6.94%. The increase in production was mainly due to an additional production day [24]. - In March 2026, the overall downstream industry's polyethylene operating rate was 34.95%, a 13.35 - percentage - point increase from the previous month. The average monthly operating rate of the PE packaging film industry increased by 18.07% month - on - month, and the overall operating rate of agricultural films increased by 11.9% month - on - month [27]. - At the end of March 2026, the social sample warehouse inventory of polyethylene decreased.

There was no new production capacity put into operation during the month, and the supply side of polypropylene had no pressure from new production [32]. - In March 2026, the apparent consumption of polypropylene decreased month - on - month. The estimated domestic apparent consumption of polypropylene in March was 2.992 million tons, a month - on - month decrease of 2.75% and a year - on - year decrease of 8.97%. The average downstream operating rate of polypropylene was 46.16%, a month - on - month increase of 7.02% and a year - on - year decrease of 4.02% [35]. - At the end of March 2026, the inventory of polypropylene production enterprises was 493,700 tons, a 32.46% decrease from the end of the previous month. The inventory of polypropylene traders was 177,800 tons, a 28.79% decrease from the end of the previous month [38]. 3.3 Market Outlook 3.3.1 PE - In April 2026, the domestic capacity utilization rate of polyethylene is expected to decrease by 7.37% month - on - month. Due to the shipping risk in the Strait of Hormuz, the import volume in April may decrease by 22.16% month - on - month, and the total supply is expected to decrease by 14.29% month - on - month. The demand side shows a positive trend, with the downstream operating rate expected to increase by 4.49%. Although the demand for agricultural films will decline by 2.99% as the peak season comes to an end, the operating rate of packaging films is expected to increase by 5%, and the export volume is also expected to increase by 8.64% month - on - month. The cost of polyethylene will still be strongly supported by the relatively high - level crude oil prices. Overall, the price of the polyethylene market may rise in April [41]. 3.3.2 PP - In April 2026, the polypropylene market is expected to show a narrow upward movement first and then return to a rational price. Geopolitical risks have slowed down but not completely subsided, and there are still concerns about energy supply. The oil - based production cost is expected to loosen at a high level, but the PDH - based production cost is strongly supported by the high price of imported propane. The downstream demand has entered the seasonal peak season, but the high - priced raw materials make it difficult for downstream enterprises to transfer costs, which restricts the overall downstream operating process. In April, more enterprises will stop production for maintenance or reduce production loads, and the supply side of the market will show a more obvious reduction. Overall, the market is expected to oscillate, rising first and then falling [41].
